Work Description

This book contains a very comprehensive range of drawings sourced from around the world and descriptions of styles and names of parts of clothing, accessories, shoes, headware, hairstyles, jewlery etc. from as early 1125BC Egyption to the 1960's. As information is presented in encyclopedic style the descriptions are listed alpabetically with corresponding drawings place on the same or opposite pages. Consequently the historical periods described do not run in date order and descriptions often will cover relevant information that covers a number of time period. It is easy to locate information from this comprehensive range of costumes from around the world by studying the very well drawing pictures or the alphabetical listings.
